ARRIVALS
CAUTION:
In case of disagreement between the published arrival information and CMA-9000 FMS displayed
information, the operator
MUST
follow the published arrival information.
INTRODUCTION
The complete arrival procedure, including Standard Arrival Route (STAR) and STAR transition can be loaded
into the route at the same time or in segments, depending on the ATC clearance received. The segments are
selected from lists of named procedures extracted from the navigation database for the destination airport.
When an arrival procedure is selected, the waypoints and procedural legs are extracted from the navigation
database, procedural leg types are decoded, and all resulting waypoints are inserted into the route in the correct
order.
The first waypoint of the STAR (or STAR transition) is linked to the coinciding waypoint of the en-route portion,
and subsequent en-route waypoints are deleted. If the first waypoint of the STAR (or STAR transition) does not
coincide with any en-route waypoint, then the STAR (or STAR transition) is separated from the en-route portion
by a route discontinuity. For certain types of STAR and transition, the waypoints may not be loaded into the
route until the approach is selected.
Approach transitions are appended to the route after the STAR and are usually separated from it by a route
discontinuity, unless the last waypoint of the STAR and the first waypoint of the approach transition are identical.
Arrival waypoints may include speed and altitude constraint advisories.
If the aircraft installation provides only a pressure altitude input to the CMA-9000 FMS, manual entry of the
altimeter correction is necessary to convert this input to baro-corrected altitude. Refer to the approved
AFMS/RFMS for further details. When required, entry of the altimeter correction for the destination airport
should be performed as soon as received, and prior to reaching a radial distance of 30 nm from the destination
airport and an altitude below 15,000 feet above, the destination airport elevation.
NOTE: When stringing STAR and Approach Transitions procedures at their common waypoint, if speed and/or
altitude constraints exist for this waypoint in both procedures, the constraint(s) from the Approach
transition are retained.
The Approach altitude/airspeed constraint(s) will probably be lower/slower than the STAR constraints.
